All they have to do is send a few crews with log dipoles or yagis. Take a few operators down and charge them with terrorism or something and a critical mass will stop using it.
We have the tech for drones sweeping everything everywhere with sensors. Cameras, radios, microphones, IR…

I see no other way to drink from the firehose. We’re talking nationstate level resources.

Why do you think the telecoms got away with stalling upgrades and fiber roll outs for so long?

Doesn’t jpg break this? And can’t it be detected? I imagine AI could be used to some extent.

Good news, we closed that pesky loophole by banning encryption without backdoors.
If they can’t decode it, you better be ready to explain exactly what those bytes were!

We’ve done it before.
Back when reddit was young, before social media apps captured the content. It just doesn’t matter now. Critical mass of the internet is corporations.

CE is neat because most companies will treat you as if you had a CS or EE degree. Can always pivot to HW or FPGA

Yeah, and times square is still lit up full brightness. The the skyscraper offices aren’t doing their part. Most of them, you can feel the cold on the street from their lobbies.

Not true- ATMs definitely track SN, that’s how they catch theives. I’m almost certain banks would record SN too, at least nowadays. It would be stupid simple.

- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 2 months ago:
Pin pitch means how tiny the physical pins in the connector can be spaced apart.
IR drop losses happen because a wire has resistance, it isn’t a perfect conductor. 28AWG wire has about 0.22ohm/m. Given a 2 meter cable, you might expect to see 0.44ohm one-way. Current is also travelling back, so the circuit “sees” another 0.44ohm. That’s a total of 0.88ohm
A wire will cause voltage drop following ohm’s law. V=I/*R. So for 1A of current, you will see 0.88V lost.
Say you’re trying to charge at 15W (5V 3A), your phone is only going to ‘see’ 2.36 volts, and 7.9W are wasted in the cable.
For a 100W device (20V, 5A), 4.4V are lost, also meaning 22W are wasted.

- Comment on The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink 3 months ago:
Microwave point-to-point radios are fastest because they travel through air, but more importantly, are typically the shortest path possible by line-of-sight.
Being 66.7% of speed of light doesn’t matter terribly when you consider that the cable path is shorter by more than 66.7% of path taken by satelite link.
